MIAMI – Slain Washington Redskin standout Sean Taylor was remembered by his girlfriend yesterday as a family man who didn’t have the problems people think he had.

Taylor “was a simple man, a private man and when people say that he was troubled, it’s just not true,” Jackie Garcia told CNN. “People who are criticizing him just don’t know what they are talking about.”

Garcia – the mother of Taylor’s 11/2-year-old daughter – hid under the sheets in the bedroom of his Palmetto Bay home the night he was fatally shot during a home invasion.

No arrests have been made, and investigators are still trying to determine whether the killing stemmed from an earlier botched robbery, on Nov. 18, or had anything to do with Taylor’s past.

Garcia said that since their daughter was born, Taylor had stayed out of trouble.

“He was a homebody. All he wanted to do is be with me and our child,” she said.

Taylor’s mother, Donna Junor, told Washington TV station WJLA that her son “always was a provider.”
